Being a first grader seemed exciting to me then, and I really was happy. I was to study in an allgirls school. My mother took me to the front d
10、oor of the classroom and left. I didnt mind because I didnt want to appear too childish. The classroom fitted about forty students with still some room to spare. We sat in groups, six tables per group. I chose a seat and sat there while waiting for other girls to arrive. It didnt take that long and
11、the other tables were soon full. There wasnt much chatting going on, and it seemed my classmates were very shy. After all, it was a truly new environment for us. The girls in my group were also shy and most of them were looking down. Finally, a girl sitting in front of me broke the silenceshe introd
12、uced herself as Amanda. She then burst_out speaking about her family. The four other girls paid attention to what she said with an occasional (偶尔的) nod sometimes.I lost what she said a few minutes after that. The next thing I knew was that she was already talking about her cat. “Do you know its name
13、？” she asked me. I was a little surprised at the sudden question. I thought about it for a while, and then finally answered. “I dont know. It could be anything. ”The question was repeated to the other girls but with the same result. Amanda smiled proudly, happy that nobody could guess her cats name.
14、“Its name is Coco, a female (雌性的) cat. Oh, I almost forgetwhat are your names？”1How did the writer feel on the first day of school?ABored.BExcited.CSurprised.DDisappointed.2Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?AThe writer went to school by herself on the first day.BThe classroom was

16、Cthey seemed to be too shy to speakDthey didnt like their new school4The underlined phrase “burst out” in Paragraph 2 means“_”Asuddenly beganBangrily stoppedCimaginedDavoidedBAmerican and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, the
17、re are some important differences between British English and American English.First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans dont say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I dont know”. However, the British are more careful on thei
18、r speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.Also, some letters have different sounds. For example, the Americans say the “a” in half like the “a” in cat. But the British say the “a” in half like the “o” in soft.Sound is not the only difference between British English and American
19、 English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England they drive lorries.Many expression
20、s are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone friends, you “ring them up”. In America you “give them a call”There are also sometimes differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have
21、 class today？”But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you class today？”All these differences can be confusing if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different way
22、s. This is what happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.5Compared to the British, Americans are usually_.Amore careful about saying wordsBless careful about saying word
